It may be helpful to think of TAO as an online library of engaging, interactive programs to learn life skills and to help you bounce back from disappointments or stumbling blocks in life. As you watch videos and engage with our interactive components, you'll gain the knowledge, self-awareness, and skills you need to achieve your goals. You can complete TAO at your own pace, whether that's just one session a day, or perhaps a short or long course. It's entirely up to you.
